Deep Learning Helps U Missouri Researchers Predict New Material Behaviors

Campus Technology: Graphene is a big, almost-magical subject in material science. This 2D layer of carbon elements one atom thick isn't just the thinnest and lightest material known on earth, but it's also extraordinarily strong, highly conductive (even though it's not made of metal) and can be used to create tiny devices that pack an electrical wallop in a miniscule space. It can also be used in myriad innovative applications — uber-thin touchscreens, stronger tools, more durable running shoes, supercapacitors that could make batteries obsolete, impermeable armor and new kinds of waterproofing, to name just a few.
